DATA PRIVACY FRAMEWORK PRINCIPLES

uiAgent, Inc. commits to the following principles regarding personal data transferred from the EU, UK, and Switzerland:

  1. Notice When we collect personal data directly from individuals in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, we inform them about: • The purposes for which we collect and use their personal data • The types of third parties to which we disclose that information • The choices and means we offer for limiting the use and disclosure of their personal data • How to contact us with any inquiries or complaints • The independent dispute resolution body designated to address complaints

When we receive personal data from our customers, suppliers, or other commercial partners in the EU, UK, or Switzerland rather than directly from individuals, we will process such personal data in accordance with the notices provided by such entities and the choices made by the individuals to whom such personal data relates.

  1. Choice We offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt out) whether their personal data is: • To be disclosed to a third party • To be used for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual

For sensitive personal data, we obtain affirmative express consent (opt in) if such information is to be: • Disclosed to a third party • Used for a purpose other than those for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual

  1. Accountability for Onward Transfer We will only transfer personal data to a third-party acting as a controller when: • The third party has subscribed to the relevant DPF Principles or offers an adequate level of protection • We have entered into a written contract ensuring that the third party provides at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the DPF Principles

uiAgent, Inc. remains liable under the EU-U.S. DPF Principles if a third-party agent processes personal data in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

If we learn that a third party to which we have transferred personal data is using or disclosing personal data in a manner inconsistent with this Policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such processing.

  1. Security We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal data.

  2. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation We limit the collection of personal data to information that is relevant for the purposes of processing. We do not process personal data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. We retain personal data only for as long as it serves a purpose of processing for which it was collected or subsequently authorized.

  1. Access Upon request, we grant individuals reasonable access to the personal data that we hold about them. We also take reasonable steps to allow individuals to correct, amend, or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete, except where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the privacy of the individual in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than the individual would be violated.

  2. Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability We have mechanisms in place to ensure compliance with the DPF Principles and provide recourse for individuals whose personal data is processed in non-compliance with the DPF Principles. These mechanisms include: • Annual self-assessment of our compliance with the DPF Principles • Internal procedures for addressing complaints • Verification that our privacy policy is accurate, comprehensive, prominently displayed, and fully implemented • Employee training on compliance with the DPF Principles • Independent dispute resolution for addressing complaints about our compliance
